Popcorn Hour A-110
For Christmas I got the awesome piece of tech called the Popcorn Hour A-110 Networked Media Tank, commonly known as the NMT. Basically, the NMT is a media device that will hook to your home network and allow you to either stream content from the web straight to your TV. The NMT is also capable of playing media files from an external HDD connected via USB or from an internal SATA HDD that you can add in on your own.
This little guy handles damn near every format that I can think of including Matroska and VOBs with menu support. The NMT will even download torrents to its internal hard drive on its own.
The only down side that I have noticed so far is that the otherwise perfect remote must be pointed directly at the unit for it to respond. Besides that the remote is a high quality Blu-Ray styled remote control.
There is a nice community of people and developers that are willing to help on any problems that you might encounter and add-ons that you might want to create.
Long story short, if you have a lot of media that you want to easily watch or listen on your TV, then this is the perfect solution.
